You'll forget about any messes!

A rug is a foolproof way to anchor a space. Its vibrant colors can be the jumping-off point for the entire color scheme of a room. Furthermore, it has to see you through dinner parties, movie nights, pets, kids—you name it! And even the most colorful rugs need maintenance from the daily wear and tear from the high-traffic areas they're placed in.

All that said, we went ahead and curated a list of the best machine washable rugs (that's right, you can pop them into the wash) that are stylish and equally durable to handle your day-to-day. We guarantee that your most mischievous pets and squad members don't stand a chance, no matter how determined they seem to ruin things. Seriously, imagine a world in which someone spills something and you can simply blot the stain, pick the rug up, and pop it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, and hang it out to dry.

Well, that's exactly what you'll get with every rug on this list. As an added bonus, many of our finds are affordable with several picks under $100. You'll be well on your way to finding a purchase that suits your style, budget, and more importantly, your cleaning routine. All in all, a machine washable rug is the ultimate family-friendly solution and you don't even have to do any folding afterward. Go on, check it all out below and make life easier by snagging a few for all the corners of your place.

Yes, if a rug is labeled machine-washable. However, some 100% cotton, polyester, and nylon rugs can still be washed even if it's not labeled. Just use a gentle cycle and mild soap, then hang dry if you're worried about shrinkage.

Also, remember that most home washing machines can only accommodate rugs of a certain size. This is because the rugs get heavier when wet and all the extra weight can damage your machine. Keep this in mind if you have a bigger area rug you're trying to clean.

Most 100% cotton, polyester, or nylon rugs are washable. Jute and sisal rugs are natural plant fibers, which typically can't go in the machine so keep an eye out for options that mimic the style.
